> Free, hand-edited, no-pay-to-play, respecting privacy & designed for professional use

> Launch at the »Innovation Days 2015« in Paris

[iito] Business Intelligence, a provider of customised business intelligence solutions under the brand »gene-sensor.com«, announces the launch of a free web portal for the life sciences in France, called Life-Sciences-France.com, or: [LSF].

[LSF] is intended for use by business professionals and can be found at http://www.Life-Sciences-France.com!

Featured content includes:
- more than 2,000 News
- more than 1,000 Persons
- more than 1,000 Organisations
- more than 500 Products
- more than 1,500 Deals (Collaborations, Financings, etc.)

Right from the start Life-Sciences-France.com thus includes more than 6,000 hand-edited and indexed data sets.

Result lists display 100 search results per page and are sortable.

[LSF] covers companies, governmental, administrative organisations as well as universities and research organisations. In addition, non-French organisations that have partnerships with French firms, or belong to French business groups or have French subsidiaries, are also included.

A unique feature of [LSF] is that for the first time a business web portal provides English-language information about the French life sciences on a professional level in one virtual place and that this offering is for free as well as without any privacy issues. Anybody can submit information for free, and there are just two conditions that must be met to be considered for publication: it must be interesting and it must be in English. No log-in is needed.

Life-Sciences-France.com builds on the success of two [iito] web portals dealing with the European life sciences and the life sciences in the DACH region (Germany, Austria and Switzerland) – Life-Sciences-Europe.com and Life-Sciences-Germany.com, respectively.

Marcus Lippold, [iito] Business Intelligence, comments:

“Within the last five years our European and DACH region business web portals have achieved an excellent reputation and a market leading position. Readers include senior level corporate managers, cluster managers, PE/VC investors, consultants, financial advisers, PR/IR agents as well as lawyers and patent attorneys. Offering a single, free, yet professional entry point to the whole European life sciences as well as to the most important European regions has really filled a gap in the information market for senior level decision makers in the life sciences."

He adds: "The official launch of [LSF] today marks the starting point of the largest expansion of our product portfolio ever. Following today’s product release of Life-Sciences-France.com at the Innovation Days in Paris, [iito] will launch four additional web portals until the end of 2017 and more than double the number of its free online offerings!"

All European [iito] web portals are intended as an English-language doorway to the specific region and explicitly target senior level decision makers from Europe, North America and Asia. As of today more than 50% of the visitors of each [iito] web portal come from a region that is distinct from the region covered by the respective portal. About 25 to 40% are coming from North America alone.

[LSF], like all [iito] web portals, leverages the power of the gene-sensor.com database system. Gene-sensor is a proprietary database system developed by [iito] Business Intelligence over the last 13 years that provides business information about the worldwide life sciences industry. The database is 100% manually curated in Germany.

A complementary twitter channel is available at http://www.twitter.com/iitoLifeScience/ and provides daily European life sciences and worldwide mass spectrometry news.
